xp_logs | X-Men Mission: Riding the Night Mare: The Riot Police

There is also the riot police to be dealt with...

"HEY!" Angel raged as she was doused in water. She harumphed as she upped her body heat to try and dry herself off. "God damn it aren't you people supposed to be peaceful?" She muttered to herself as she backed up, looking back at Sooraya and Jean-Philipe.

"WHOA!" Sooraya jumped backwards from another spray of water. "Water... Why does it have to be water..." She grumbled frustratingly. "One hit and I am groun... INCOMING!" She yelled out as she saw a canister flying in their direction. "Tear gas grenades."

Jean-Phillipe spotted the canisters and growled. "Cochons," he spat. He didn't precisely get on well with police, particularly ones that pre-empted without thinking first. His hands flashed upward, directing short bursts of electricity at the grenades. Normally tear gas projectiles carry little in the way of explosives, simply landing and spewing out whatever lachrymator they contained, but the sudden agitation of electricity through them caused these ones to pop and burst in midair, dumping the agent relatively safely in the middle ground between the X-Men and the police.

"Firestar, the cannon, sil vous plait," he murmured as his fingers flicked toward another wave of canisters incoming.

"Oui," Angel said as she held out a hand, aiming straight for the cannon that had doused her. "It'll be my pleasure."

And with that she shot off a ball of fire with perfect precision, hitting the cannon on top of the truck with enough force to snap it off the truck. Water erupted into the air in geyser, raining down on the cops but not quite reaching the trio, and for a moment everyone could just stare at the show.

"'Kay, now I think they might be mad," Angel mumbled to the others.

"You think?!" Sooraya caught sight of two canisters being lobbed from a different direction and dissolved into her sand form. Rushing forward, she pulled her dust formed as tightly packed together in the air as possible and blocked the canisters while they were still above some of the cops. Hurrying back, she took her normal shape."

"Oops." She muttered sarcastically.

"Okay, thoughts..." Angel said as she backed up, holding up her hand to show the other two the fireball forming over her palm. "I throw this, it goes boom, we run. Dust, stay not dust. Good plan?"

"It certainly has its merits." Destruction, police scattering like roaches...what was not to like? Jean-Phillipe nodded. "Perhaps I can add to things myself," he added, a fist-sized 'ball lightning' coalescing in his palm.

"I get it!" Stepping behind the two energy projectors, she figured she could be most useful to make sure their path was free. "Just try to make sure we only blow up stuff!!!"

Angel aimed at the sky right above the group of officers. "On three, Bevatron. One...two...three!" She fired off her shot.

The fireball and electric ball flew toward the same point, and where they met, they erupted with a bright flash and a noise like a car backfiring as the combined energies clashed and amplified.

"I think we shall have to remember that one," Jean-Phillipe said mildly.

"Discussing effectiveness later. More running now!" Sooraya yelled as she gained speed in the direction of where the Blackbird was parked, quickly checking if her friends followed. "Come on!"
